ablesplaining
Ablesplaining is a patronizing "explanation" of any aspect of disability from someone who does not have the lived experience of being disabled. An ablesplainer's opinion is often shared without request and with a grossly inflated sense of entitlement. Don't be an ablesplainer.
Stop defending your words. You are ablesplaining!
i.e.
"I can use words like stupid, retard, moron, and idiot because they are just language and aren't meant to offend anyone."
"But you don't look like you have a disability!"
"Look at that person parking in an accessible parking space! They don't need a wheelchair so they are just taking advantage of the system."
"That child doesn't look autistic to me, the parents just need to discipline him/her."
"We are in compliance with ADA because we have wheelchair ramps and accessible bathroom stalls."

agesplaining
Like mansplaining, this occurs when someone who is older or grew up in a different time/generation tries to explain something without realizing that the younger person they are talking to knows more on that topic than they do.
Valid for use when the person perceives themself as being older whether they actually are or not and still explains in the same condescending fashion.
Also used for when the elder explains something that no longer is culturally valid in our society, such as the means for a student in the US to be able to be debt-free when graduating. Often the agesplained statement comes after "when I was your age."

Boffin
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
